You can leave your dog outside with you in the yard while your dog potties and plays. It’s best to hang out in your yard while your dog potties and plays. Of course, you can go indoors and grab a drink, but never leave your dog outside for longer than 5-10 minutes. When your dog is outdoors, sit outside and have a conversation with a friend on the phone or, even better, play a fun game with your dog. If it’s too hot or cold for you to sit outdoors, then the weather is too extreme for your dog to sit outdoors too.

Provide shade and water, provide constant access to shaded areas inside and out, make sure there is always clean, cold water available. Put ice cubes into your dog's water bowl or make some tasty ice cube treats. You could also freeze a Kong toy full of treats and water. Give your pet damp towels to lie on or an ice pack wrapped in a towel. Never place a damp towel over your dog as this can trap in heat. Use frozen toys, paddling pools, or water sprinklers to entertain and cool your dog down. But remember not all dogs like water, so don’t force them if they don't want to. Pavements can get very hot, if the ground is too hot to touch with your hand for five seconds, it’s too hot for paws.

Some dogs are left outside because they shed and their owners want to keep their houses clean. Other dogs are locked out because of destructive behavior or other bad behavior. And yet other dogs are left out in the cold because someone in the household is allergic to them. Sadly, often dogs are left outside by dog-owners that aren’t putting enough effort into their pets. Whether they’re unwilling or unable to train and socialize their dogs, or whether they have unrealistic expectations of their dog’s behavior, some people find it easier to just keep their dogs outside. If you want your house to be spick and span, for example, it’s not a good idea to get a German Shepherd or other dog that sheds heavily. If you don’t have time to train and exercise a big, energetic dog, look for a smaller, mellower breed.
